Features Install the included Sound Manager software for PXA-H800 on a PC. This provides the user with access to the all functions/features of this device. Use the RUX-C800 (sold separately) to have access to many of the PXA-H800 functions without the need for a PC. An Ai-NET compatible head unit provides limited functionality through its controls. • The RUX-C800 Commander provides access to most of the PXA-H800 functions. • To use all Automatic Measurement and Audio Setting/ Adjustment functions, a PC connection is required. • Availability of operations Commander (sold separately) (RUX-C800) PC(Sound Manager for PXA-H800) Ai-NET compatible head unit Power ON/OFF Automatic adjustment 0 Lc,.

Each band is individually controlled to balance the sound and enhance detail. Parametric Equalizer The Parametric EQ has fewer bands but gives more control over where the band is located in the audio spectrum. The user can also control how much overlap with adjacent frequencies (Q). This provides you with a sound control feature of professional-level, which allows you to adjust an extremely narrow range in pin-point fashion without affecting the neighboring sound regions. X-Over The X-Over allows this processor to output audio within a specific band. These specific bands are sent to drive speakers optimized to reproduce those bands. Use the integrated HPF (High Pass Filter) or LPF (Low Pass Filter) to create a specified output for each channel. The Slope and Level of each channel is also adjustable. 5. 1 ch theater surround compatible Get true, 5.1 "Theater Surround." Create a concert hall experience in your vehicle. EUPHONY EUPHONY is an innovative sound field reproduction method which DiMAGIC has created with the latest acoustic technology based on the core concept of "enjoying beautiful sound." Taking maximum advantage of minute differences of sound between the right and left stereo signals, reverberation, and acoustics, with adaptive filters , the realistic sensation of sound field is created. The system features sound quality that is pleasant even after long listening, which is the optimum sound for long distance driving. *1 You cannot run lmprintEQ measurement. .2 For details about the functions available on the Ai-NET compatible head unit, refer to "Using with Ai-NET Connections" (page /0)1 (page 35). • When Sound Manager for PXA-H800 is running, the RUX-C800 Commander becomes disabled. • For details about the functions available on the Commander and on the PC, refer to "Function list" (page 5). Before You First Use the Unit When you first use the unit, set the following: Turning Power On (page 10)/(page 35) Setting the Speaker System (page 13)/(page 37) The inherent sound quality inside a vehicle varies widely. Numerous factors, including media used, vehicle type, speakers, etc., contribute to this inconsistency. This processor is able to compensate for many of these factors to optimize the sound automatically. lmprintEQ lmprintEQ is a system to obtain the optimum acoustic effect at each seat based on the automatically measured acoustic data of the cabin. RoadEQ Road EQ (REAL-TIME OPTIMIZED ADAPTIVE DRIVING EQ) is a function to automatically adjust the EQ properties in accordance with the road noise while driving. TCR (Time Correction)IAuto TCR (Automatic Time Correction) In a vehicle, it is not possible to change the listening positions of the user. Using Time Correction, an optimized listening position is created no matter where the user is seated. This automated adjustment is able to focus the auditory image as well as expand the sound field making for a more natural sound. "TCR" digitally delays the sound output from each speaker in order to align the timing of the sound reaching the listener.

Automatic measurement requires microphones to be installed in the cabin to measure acoustic characteristics, and the speakers may output loud noise for measurement. This may interfere with safe driving and lead to an accident. Be sure to read before performing automatic measurement. • The automatic measurement should be performed in a quiet place with the engine, air-conditioner, and heater turned off If a mobile phone or car phone is installed in the vehicle, move them outside of the cabin, or turn the power off Sound other than the measuring sound (ambient noise around the vehicle, engine noise, and ringtones) may interfere with measurement, resulting in inaccurate measurement of the acoustic characteristics of the cabin. • Be aware that the battery may be drained if you use the unit for an extended period of time without running the engine. • The microphone supplied with this product is specifically designed for this type of measurement. Use ofany other microphone will give poor or no results. Use of microphones other than the one supplied is not recommended. • If the system is equipped with a power amplifier with input level control or a powered subwoofer, the measurement may not be possible if the input level is set low. However, to perform correct measurement, the input level should not be set too high. • For a power amplifier with low-pass filter, turn off the low-pass filter of the power amplifier to make measurement. The low-pass filter in the powered subwoofer or the power amplifier for a subwoofer should be set at the highest cutofffrequency.

Determine the recommended crossover frequency of the speakers. Adjusting to a frequency range outside that recommended may cause damage to the speakers. For the recommended crossover frequencies ofAlpine speakers, refer to the respective Owner's Manual. We are not responsible for damage or malfunction of speakers caused by using the crossover outside the recommended value. Adjusting X-Over and Switching the Phases This section describes how to adjust X-Over. Before working on this, refer to "About the Crossover (X-Over)" (page 26). About the Crossover (X-Over) Crossover (X-Over): This unit is equipped with an active crossover. The crossover limits the frequencies delivered to the outputs. Each channel is controlled independently. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the frequencies for which they have been optimally designed. The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass filter) or LPF (low pass filter) of each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the highs or lows). Adjustments should be made according to the reproduction characteristics of the speakers. Depending on the speakers, a passive network may not be necessary. If you are unsure about this point, please consult your authorized Alpine dealer.

This can also affect the acoustic localization of the front. Hints for adjusting the high range Depending on the speaker, inputting low frequency component signals (about 2 kHz or less) with the H. PF adjustment could result in distortion. If so, set a steep slope (for example 30 dB/oct) When doing so, adjust so that the mid and high range sounds do not separate. Normally use with the L.PF off. If the high range is too strong, we recommend adjusting for a gentle slope. Hint for adjusting the low range When a subwoofer is connected and you are using a speaker with a low range of under 10 or 12 em (3-15/ 16" or 4-3/4"), setting the low range H.P.F to "OFF" can result in distortion when low frequency components are input. If so, set the HP.F. slope to a value suited for the speaker's frequency response. 1 Click [X-Over] for [Shortcut] tab in the main menu.

Click [Show All Data] . The setup values for all the channels will be displayed. Conditions: Distance between farthest speaker and listening position: 2.25 m {88-3/4") Distance between front left speaker and listening position: 0.5 m (20") Calculation: L = 2.25 m (88-3/4")- 0.5 m (20") = 1.75 m (68-3/4") Compensation time = 1. 75 .;. 343 x 1000 = 5.1 (ms) In other words, setting the time correction value for the front left speaker to 5.1 (ms) sets a virtual distance matching the distance to the farthest speaker. Adjusting the Time Correction (TCR) Because of the particular conditions inside the vehicle, there are major differences in the distances between the different speakers and the various listening positions. The proper time correction can be obtained using the automatic time correction function ("Auto TCR"), but it is also possible to calculate the optimum correction val ues and eliminate the time error at the listening position using this function. The unit for the time correction can be chosen to be either "em" or "inch." (Initial setting: "em") The sound is uneven because the distance between the listening position and the different speakers is different. The difference in the distance between the front left and rear right speakers is 1. 75 meters (68-3/4"). • Calculation of time correction 1 Sit in the listening position (the driver's seat, for example) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers. 2 Calculate the difference in distance between the farthest speaker and the other speakers. L =(distance of farthest speaker)- (distance of other speakers) 3 Divide the distances calculated for the different speakers by the speed of sound (343 m/s temperature 20°C). This value is the time co rrection value for the d ifferent speakers. Time correction eliminates the difference between the time required for the sound from the different speakers to reach the listening position. Setting the time correction of the front left speaker to 5.1 ms makes it possible to coordinate the distance from the listening position to the speaker. • Entering the time correction 4 Click [TCR] for [Shortcut] tab in the main menu.

Do not perform automatic measurement while the vehicle is running. Automatic measureJ;Ilent requires microphones to be installed in the cabin to measure acoustic characteristics, and the speakers may output loud noise for measurement. This may interfere with safe driving and lead to an accident. Be sure to read before performing the automatic measurement. • The automatic measurement should be performed in a quiet place with the engine, air-conditioner, and heater turned off lf a mobile phone or car phone is installed in the vehicle, move them outside of the cabin, or turn the power off Sound other than the measuring sound (ambient noise around the vehicle, engine noise, and ringtones) may interfere with measurement, resulting in inaccurate measurement of the acoustic characteristics of the cabin. • Be aware that the battery may be drained if you use the unit f or an extended period of time without running the engine. • The microphone supplied with this product is specifically designed for this type ofmeasurement. Use of any other microphone will give poor or no results.

Each channel is controlled independentl y. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the frequencies for which they have been optimally designed. The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass filter) or LPF (low pass filter) of each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the highs or lows). Adjustments should be made according to the reproduction characteristics of the speakers. Depending on the speakers, a passive network may not be necessary.

Note on adjusting the subwoofer · If the subwoofer is installed on the rear deck, setting a gentle LPF slope (for example 6 dB/ oct.) makes the sound localization more to the rear. This can also affect the acoustic localization of the front. Note on adjusting the high range Depending on the speaker, inputting low frequency component signals (about 2 kHz or less) with the HPF adjustment could result in distortion. If distortion occurs, set a steep slope (for example 30 dB/oct.). Adjust so that the mid and high range sounds do not separate. Normally use with the LPF turned off.

Adjusting the Time Correction (TCR) Because of the particular conditions inside the vehicle, there are major differences in the distances between the different speakers and the listening position. The proper time correction can be obtained using the automatic time correction function ("Auto TCR"), but it is also possible to calculate the optimum correction values and eliminate the time error at the listening position yourself using this function. • Calculation of time correction 1 Sit in the listening position (the driver's seat, for example) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers. The sound is uneven because the distance between the listening position and the different speakers is different. The difference in ihe distance between the front left and rear right speakers is 1.75 meters (68-3/4') Time correction eliminates the difference between the time required for the sound from the different speakers to reach the listening position.

It is compatible with audio signals from mono (1 channel) all the way up to 5.1channel surround sound. The signals for the different channels are completely independent, and since the sound is high quality digital there is no loss of sound quality. Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic II provides multichannel surround sound from any 2 channel source. It reproduces extended bandwidth playback with 5.1 channels. This is made possible by an advanced matrix surround decoder. This new decoder is able to draw out spatial characteristics of the recording without adding tonal coloration or artificial delays that did not exist in the original. Linear PCM audio LPCM is a signal recording format used for music COs. Whereas music COs are recorded at 44.1 kHz/ 16 bits, DVDs are recorded at 48 kHz/ 16 bits to 96 kHz/24 bits, thereby achieving higher sound quality than music COs. Rear Subwoofer Speaker layout for enjoying Dolby Digital sound/DTS sound DTS This is a home-use digital sound format of the DTS Sound System.

Results may vary between vehicles, systems and personal taste, requiring further fine tuning by manual delay adjustment. In some cases, however, the delay required to align one or more of the main channels with the subwoofer channel may exceed the PXA-H800's delay capability. If any channel indicates that maximum 20ms delay was applied during automatic setup, it will be necessary to manually adjust each channel's relative time delay to within the maximum delay range for satisfactory imaging. If you encounter a problem, call the toll free telephone number or visit the website to locate a service center.
